Marlborough Pinot Noir has been getting a lot of good press lately which is super exciting. We’re chuffed about Stephen Tanzer’s thoughts on our 2010 Mahi Marlborough Pinot Noir: “Okay, this one is not $25, but it’s the best of the bunch. The Mahi Wines 2010 Pinot Noir Marlborough ($30; Maverick Wine Company) begins with captivating, slightly wild aromas of cherry, raspberry and strawberry. On the palate, there’s a lovely light touch to the pungent red berry, mint and mineral elements: like a good Burgundy, this pinot offers intensity of flavor without undue weight. And its energetic finish stimulates the taste buds.”
